feat(bricks+wpml): full programmatic page generation + native WPML CTE integration
Sessions 3-4 deliverables. Establishes the Asterion content pipeline :
EN pages generated programmatically from content-source/*-data.php, FR
translations rebuilt natively by Bricks's WPML integration from EN structure
+ WPML strings (no direct FR _bricks_page_content_2 writes).
## tools/_av-bricks-shared.php (the library)
Shared helpers + element atoms (eyebrow/heading/text/button/text-link) +
section builders (hero/prose/list/cards/cta/upsell/closer) + page write
pipeline that handles : write EN content via $wpdb (bypass Bricks's filter),
force Bricks::Elements::load_elements() so controls are populated, fire
wpml_page_builder_register_strings, push dict FR into icl_string_translations
(skip user CTE edits, auto-prefix /fr on internal URLs), trigger Bricks
native FR rebuild via wpml_page_builder_string_translated, and ensure a CTE
job exists (icl_translate_job.editor='wpml' + revision=NULL + populate
icl_translate rows with base64+gzip-encoded EN/FR strings).
## tools/av-generate-{industries,solutions}.php
Thin wrappers : URL trigger (template_redirect, not init — Bricks elements
load on 'wp' hook), add_filter('av_fr_translation_dict', ...) to register
FR strings, content-type-specific hub builder. ~150 FR strings per type.
## tools/av-translate-{industries,solutions}-fr.php
One-shot seeds for the initial FR linked posts via WPML trid mapping.
## tools/av-wpml-* operational mu-plugins
- set-cte : switch doc_translation_method to ICL_TM_TMETHOD_EDITOR (=1)
- create-jobs : reset CTE jobs (status=10 + needs_update=1 + editor=wpml +
revision=NULL). Integrated into pipeline via av_ensure_wpml_cte_job().
- fix-status / repair : align FR posts to correct trid + cleanup orphans.
- push-translations : push dict into icl_string_translations.
- plugins-check / debug / dump-strings / icl-dump / rescan : diagnostics.
## tools/av-fix-link-types.php
One-shot DB migration : convert legacy link.type='internal'+url to 'external'
across all _bricks_page_*_2 meta values (JSON and PHP-serialized). Bricks's
set_link_attributes() only renders href= for type='external' — older session-3
templates lost their href silently.
## Other tools/ mu-plugins
- av-bricks-rest-bridge : pivot — exposes Bricks CPTs over REST, dual-format
read filter (JSON for MCP / array for renderer), auto-mirror content→header/
footer for templates.
- av-apply-bricks-styles, av-cleanup-orphans, av-create-wp-menu, av-debug-meta,
av-dump-bricks, av-fix-template-meta : misc operational scripts.
## Bricks Config/
JSON snapshots of bricks_theme_styles, bricks_color_palette,
bricks_global_settings for diffable inspection.
## .gitignore
Add .mcp.json — holds per-developer WP App Password for the Bricks MCP server.
## wp-content/themes/asterion-bricks/assets/css/utilities.css
Note that all responsive overrides are now emitted natively by the page
generator via Bricks per-breakpoint settings, no custom CSS needed.

|
||||
|
||||
Then activate the Bricks license (Bricks → License) and run the WPML setup wizard manually — those need your license keys and an interactive choice flow that's safer to do in admin.
|
||||
|
||||
## av-apply-bricks-styles.php
|
||||
|
||||
One-shot mu-plugin that writes the full Asterion Theme Style to `wp_options` (`bricks_theme_styles`) AND fixes `bricks_global_settings.postTypes` to include `page, post, case_study, scenario`.
|
||||
|
||||
Why a mu-plugin : Bricks stores Theme Styles as serialized PHP in the DB (not in a file), so we need code that runs in the WP context. Mu-plugin URL trigger is the simplest path; LocalWP CLI PHP can't connect to the per-site MySQL socket without extra config.
|
||||
|
||||
Usage :
|
||||
|
||||
1. Copy this file → `<LocalWP site>\app\public\wp-content\mu-plugins\av-apply-bricks-styles.php`
|
||||
2. Visit `http://localhost:10004/?av_apply_styles=1` (logged in as admin)
|
||||
3. A dark-themed report shows what was written.
|
||||
4. Reload the Bricks builder (Ctrl+R) → Theme Style "Asterion" applied to entire website.
|
||||
|
||||
Idempotent — re-running overwrites with the same payload. Edit the file then re-trigger to iterate.
|
||||
|
||||
Sets : General (site bg), Colors (11 semantic roles), Links (gold + underline), Typography (Inter, body 16px, h1-h6 sizes from `tokens.css`), Button (primary navy, secondary gold, padding scale), Section (5rem padding), Container (max 1280px), Focus outline.
|
||||
|
||||
## av-dump-bricks.php
|
||||
|
||||
One-shot mu-plugin that exports the live `bricks_theme_styles`, `bricks_color_palette`, `bricks_global_settings` options to JSON files in `Bricks Config/` for inspection or git-versioned snapshots.
|
||||
|
||||
Usage : drop into mu-plugins, visit `?av_dump_bricks=1` (admin), three JSONs appear in `Bricks Config/`.
|
||||
|
||||
## What's missing — manual follow-up after fresh setup
|
||||
|
||||
- Bricks license key activation (Bricks → License)
|
||||
- WPML setup wizard (WPML → Setup) : EN default + FR secondary, URL strategy = "Different languages in directories"
|
||||
- Bricks → Theme Styles : align colors with `tokens.css` (Brand Navy `#0B1F3A`, Brand Gold `#C9A45A`, etc.)
|
||||
- Run `?av_apply_styles=1` (see above) to push the Theme Style — replaces clicking through Bricks → Theme Styles.
|
||||
- Build the Header and Footer Bricks Templates (per RESTART-PLAN.md Phase 4)
